Silent Echos -
A
True Story - BAICO
Inc. Ottawa
(2009).
Silent Echoes is based on a true story that relates to
physical, sexual, nutritional and psychological abuse. It also relates
to archetypal psychology, symbolism and mysticism.
The
story is
told by the main character who spends a few weeks in an all women's
residential home while she does a painful research about her childhood,
adolescent and young adult life. She loses time when she stumbles upon
an object, overhears bits of conversation, or sees a building that
reminds her of the past. These trigger the horrific memories she
relives.
